The Lovely Bones: Royersford, Day Two
Of course, the "new" look wasn't much of a stretch for this stretch of Main Street, and yet the mocked-up store fronts were so convincing that for a moment Jenifer thought, "Hey, Royersford is really coming along nicely," following in the footsteps of other local revitalization efforts in Phoenixville and Spring City.
Apart from the guards and a minimal crew, the area was empty, and there were no signs of the actors or Messrs. Jackson and Spielberg (rumored to be in town). The only items of note were a fleet of period cars and the Paramount trailer. For more pics of the shoot, check out Mommy Blah Blah Blog and In My Head.

Downtown Rofo/Spring City really looks like it is trapped in the 70s (in a bad way).
I always expect to see people shuffling down the street with defeated looks and old clothes.
Haha...good point, Tom. They nearly always portray the past nostalgically in films - even 'dark' ones. That's one reason why we tend to think of the 'good old days' - when actually things were just as bad or worse.
I happened upon your blog by way f our shared respect for the novel Grendel, and decided to read a bit. I have to say I enjoy your writing style and a career in screenwriting seems to be fitting for you.
Thank you, Casual!
(I promise, should I ever have the good fortune to adapt Grendel, I will honor the text!)
